Tips For Home and Garage Sport Storage

Get Rid of The Clutter

If you are really serious about finding the space for all your sporting equipment, the first thing you will want to do is get rid of the excess clutter. You might have the room for extra things, but why hold on to equipment you don't need? To get rid of the clutter you will want to grab a large garbage bag and look through all your sport equipment asking yourself when the last time it was you used said equipment.

If you are looking at something you haven't used in the last 10-12 months, then it might be time to get rid of it. Getting rid of the excess will give you the motivation to keep going until all the sporting equipment is organized and your house is clutter free! And remember that just because you don't use it, doesn't mean other person won’t. Find a place where you can donate things that are still in good condition. 

Invest In Storage Bins

It is nice how schools have gym lockers where they can store all the sporting equipment for each individual student, however installing lockers for each child may not be feasible or realistic for your home. Instead, getting laundry baskets or bins to organize equipment is an easy alternative. You can label each according to what sport they are for or who they are for. Baskets are easy to store on shelves in the mud room or on a lift in the garage. Simply label basket and store away for better organization!

Dedicate A Spot For Shoes

For many sporting activities, you have to invest in a certain type of shoe in order to perform at the best levels. You’ve got your cleats, spikes, runners, basketball shoes, tennis shoes, and twenty more different pairs! With all of these different pairs of shoes, things can get untidy pretty quickly. Not to mention a serious headache when you can find a matching shoe for the pair you need. In order to avoid this hassle, make an organized system for your sporting shoes. You can put a shoe rack in the garage for all the sporting shoes, or get more bins that are labeled just for shoes. Making a dedicated spot for the sport shoes is how you will avoid losing shoes and excessive clutter.
